Option 2: triangle

(1 point)
Option

Answer 1

1: rectangle

When a rectangular pyramid is sliced parallel to the base, the shape created will be a rectangle. This is because the base of the pyramid is a rectangle, and the slice will take on the same shape as the base. The top of the pyramid will also be a rectangle, creating a two-dimensional shape with four straight sides and four right angles.
